My personal view is that a straight wax does not need set up time. That said alot of waxes have polymers in them which could cause some longevity problems.



A sealant differs because they need set-up time. Sealants also seems to differ in the time needed. Zaino is stated to be fairly quick, whereas the Hi-Temp sealant, i was told, is 3 days. On long term sealant jobs i try to make sure it is out of the rain or water for 24 hours and not soap washed for 1 week.
